Default Re: History, Teardown, and Rebuild 63 1-ton panel

Found two more images of the truck back when the fire department had it. One of the images was taken in 1971 just 2 years before the truck would be turned over the the local high school for their band wagon. Looking at that photo you also see what appears to be a red and white GMC. I can't seem to see any "V6" badges on the side of the hood tho. Also I believe a 62 Chevy truck is also in the photo.

Started the V6 up yesterday, man it runs smooth. I gotta figure out how to get this body pulled back to its shape at the rear of the doors. It stretched when the frame was out from the body, I didn't know at the time I had to brace it. Anyone have any suggestion on how to get the cab back to its "shape". I was think a come-a-long and pull it somehow after cutting the floor loose(needs replaced due to rust)?
